Ignatius of Loyola: The Psychology of a Saint (Revised)

Ignatius of Loyola - knight and saint, mystic and ascetic, founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) - was one of the most influential and most complex figures in Western Christianity. This book, written by a psychoanalyst who is also a Jesuit, is the first work to investigate the inner life of Ignatius and the psychological motivations for the particular forms his spirituality and mysticism took.
